GOOLOO Jump Starter 1500A IP65 12V Portable Car Battery Booster Jump Starter Pack Kit with Quick Charge, DC Port, LED Flashlight

Product Information

It’s good for them because this way they impress more people and sell more units but not so good for an average consumer who has a hard time finding a perfect jump starter for his/her vehicle.

You want a jump starter that is going to have enough power to jump-start your vehicle even if your car battery is completely flat. A jump starter is a tool and there is no point in having a jump starter with you if it can’t jump-start a car with a dead battery. NOCO GBX45 was the fastest charging jump starter. It was completely recharged in 48 minutes. I had to use my MacBook’s USB-C charger because NOCO jump starters do not come with a charger. The clamps on this thing are made up of plastic but don’t feel cheap or flex too much. The plastic clamps are the same as TrekPow. The high power of 4000 A peak current will support ALL engines of gasoline and 10.0-Liter engines of diesel at best. With it, you can jump start cars in seconds without anyone else's help. WIDELY USED IN ALL YOUR 12V VEHICLESYou can also charge your smartphone, tablet, and other USB-powered devices through its dual USB ports. The charging speeds are okay, and in my testing, these ports delivered 10 watts of charging current each.

In the next week, all the jump starters arrived. I unboxed them and put them on charge. Some jump starters came with a little bit of charge, like the ones from Noco, RuggedGeek, Nexpow, and Clore Automotive, but I still topped these all off. Jump starters can also help you make that emergency phone call even if your phone’s battery is dead. Why do you care about 60W USB-C charge-out port? Well, for me I travel with my laptop a lot and this power bank can charge it through the USB-C port, as if I am plugged into the wall. I was just curious to find out if it had any improved performance (other than cranking amps) over its predecessor. Unfortunately, GBX 45 was not able to do its magic this time. The starter motor was struggling and the jump starter was getting hot.I thought there might be something wrong with the bike or maybe it was not supposed to jump-start the dirt bikes. Which is weird I know. When it comes to jump-starting a big diesel engine, you need a lot of cranking amps! RuggedGeek and Beatit QDSP would be able to start this diesel engine with a weak battery. But with a completely dead battery, I don’t think these two jump starters stand a chance. The flashlight on this jump starter is bright and comes handy if you are jump-starting in the dark. It comes with smart jumper cables, USB-C cable, and a carrying case. This jump starter also has protection for short circuits and reverse polarity. And, the flashlight is bright. It drains the battery fast. It also has safety features like reverse polarity protection so if you ever connect it the wrong way to the battery terminals (like I did on purpose for testing this) it flashes the red light and won’t let you jump or damage anything in your car or your wallet.

This jump starter comes with a 65-watt proprietary wall charger, USB-C to USB-A charging cable, and a 12V cigarette lighter adapter. It does not come with a storage case or pouch of any sort.

I also took these jump starters to my friend’s garage where he had a lot of vehicles that hadn’t been started in a year or more. I thought this was the perfect situation to put these jump starters to test and find out which jump starter is best in performance and worth my money (and yours). It claims to jump-start vehicles with engine sizes up to 8-liter for both gasoline and diesel engines. But that can’t be true because diesel engines don’t rely on a spark from the plugs; instead, they rely on compression to raise the temperature of the air to the point where diesel fuel combusts instantaneously.

In my testing, I have found out that the small clamps, typically made out of plastic fit really well on these small battery posts. Don't let the compact size of the GOOLOO 1200A Peak fool you. This unit is a small but mighty contender in the lineup — it delivers 1,200 peak amps while weighing in at just over one pound. It also happens to be one of the most affordable jump starters we tested. Beyond jump-starting, it also features two USB charging ports, a DC power outlet with a lighter adapter, and a small LED flashlight with several modes. The USB charge ports are 5V, and a Smart charging port will bump to 9V for rapid charging on compatible devices. The 66.6Wh lithium-ion battery can provide numerous boosts to a deep-cycle SLA or up to three iPhone charges before becoming fully depleted. In our testing, this unit was capable of jumping a 6.5-liter diesel engine, exceeding the manufacturer's suggested limit. This thing also has an air compressor and at first, I was like, it can’t be any good like all other jump starter air compressor combos. But oh boy, I was wrong. It is a little bit slow when compared to standalone air compressors but still gets the job done in a decent time.For me, reverse polarity doesn’t matter, because I am good with cars so I know what I am doing, even if I am in my sleep. I began my tests by disconnecting the negative ( – ) terminal from the batteries that were inside the vehicles. I did this to simulate a completely dead battery. For starters, it has double the cranking amps of the RG1000 at 2000 amps and can jump-start vehicles with engine sizes up to 8L for gasoline and 6L for diesel. That is a lot of jump-starting power in such a small form factor. GOOLOO claims that this jump starter can provide 4000 peak cranking amps and advertises to jump-start vehicles with engine sizes of up to 10L for gasoline and 10L for diesel. Don’t worry, I tested these claims for you.
